Man you have the coolest zoo's. ive never seen any like that in person.
i like the head and shoulders aquascape as well.

[Slice of Ocean]

Nice tank.

[Saltwaterstart]

Nice collection of Zoa's you've got there.

[NanoReefWanabe]

i am trying to amass a good collection...hardly compares to the beautiful zoos you guys can get down there though...but my eyes are always open...now i am trying to collect montiporas too....

thanx for the kind replies guys..

i forgot to get good pics of my tubs blues...that dont look anywhere near as nice as my other blues...
and my fire and ice as well...both can barely be seen in the top of the right end pic...

also no pic at all of my Joker paly's

my creamscile zoos havent opened for two weeks...

my safecracker zoos arent happy from being shaded completely by my leather, which has now moved to a new home in the cave at the bottom of the tank..hopefully they will open up again in a couple days or so..

and i didnt even get a pic of my plain blue spoted with green skirt zoos..(the boring ones that everyone has)

and most importantly the grey blue zoos with green mouth are not shown very good at all in the pic with the blue tip stag...i will try to get the rest of the pics up tomorrow..

just out of curiousity...what do you guys feed your plates?

[Rosseau]

I really like this tank.

It seems like it is just about ready to grow out... it will only get better.


I've never had a plate coral - sometimes my brains get brine shrimp if I'm feeling up to feeding them.

Can you tell us a bit about your equipment specs, lights skimmer etc?

[super dad]

wow those are some sweet cool corals realy like the green plate and orange red monti. the guy that gave that to you must be super nice :)
youll have to hook me up with some of that purple monti you got there its sweet
